University, IFC consider ATO and SAE discipline
By Oma Zadeh
Staff Writer
The university is "sorting through the facts'' as officials try to determine what action to take in response to fighting between members of Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon over the weekend.
But Greek leaders announced their desire to handle the incident internally in disciplining the individuals involved.
"The whole point is for us to govern ourselves," said Mike Nardi, executive vice president of the Interfraternity Council. "This is a perfect opportunity for us to prove to the university that we can handle our own problems.
"It is important for (IFC) to take a stand as well," Nardi said. "It is setting an example for the rest of the Row."
The two fraternities were suspended Monday pending a university review set for March 27, said Jeff Shields, Greek area coordinator for the

Schools may have to merge for budget
By Liz Washburn
Assistant City Editor
In a meeting with the student body of the School of Architecture on Monday night, Dean Robert Harris announced that the search for a dean to replace him had been suspended, while the university reviews the possibility of merging the school with other university schools.
The Strategic Steering Committee, created by university President Steven Sample and Provost Cornelius Pings, is considering changes in the structure of the university as a whole, Harris said.
"The way it is now, the university has 20 colleges and schools, which is more than most universities," he said.
Pings said the administration has asked all schools to consider the advantages and disadvantages of different mergers.
"The School of Architecture has not been singled out," he said.

Defense calls last witness in trial
Embassy College security deemed adequate in police official’s analysis
By John April
Staff Writer
An expert witness testified Tuesday in the ongoing trial concerning the university's alleged negligence surrounding the Jan. 10 rape near Embassy Residential College, saying there was no reason to step up Embassy's security measures despite an incident of
aggravated assault two days prior to the rape.
Marshall Anderson, the expert witness and a 28-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, was hired by the university to analyze the rape incident.
Anderson said the Jan. 8,1988, incident of an knife-wielding assailant who attacked a
visitor to Embassy in a parking lot near the residential college was not reason enough to step up security because "there was not a trend" of violence in the area.
"What would you need to make a trend?" asked Natasha Roit, counsel for the plaintiff.
"One more robbery or one more rape," (See Witness, page 3)
Honda Prelude car of choice among thieves
By Andrew Staubly
Staff Writer
Do you own a Honda Prelude? You're not the only one who likes them1. They are the most popular car among thieves at USC, said Detective Keith Jackson of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Of the 44 car thefts since Jan. 1, eight Hondas were stolen and six of them were Preludes. Mazda and Nissan placed second with six each stolen this year, said Sgt. John Lewis of University Security.
Jackson said the thieves hit USC often because there are so many cars to choose from.
"USC is an orchard . . . and the thieves go where the nice cars are," he said.
Preludes and Cherokees are very popular cars among thieves in general, he said.
Preludes are easy to break into and their parts are easy for thieves to sell, Jackson said.
The seats are especially useful as they fit into many different cars, he said.
"Victims need to take extraordinary measures in an inner-city area such as USC," he said.
Two devices that greatly aid car theft prevention and recovery are a manual or electronic kill switch-and a vehicle locator device, Jackson said.
